try to learn something new. Depending on where you are in your grappling journey, sometimes it may be a new move you've never seen. Other times it may be learning to place your foot two inches to the left and suddenly the move works. It may be something big or very very small (but very important). You can learn something every time you get on the mat and train.

NOTE TO ED: Imagine being a young (per)son rolling with a woman that's old enough to be your...MOM!!! GULP!!!! :D

Okay...so I received a request for training tips! Okay...so...HERE WE GO!!!!Let's see how this new identity works out for our little blog...Be sure to let me know here or shoot me an e-mail. Questions, comments...e-mail me.

I just saw a thread on a forum asking if people were 37 and if they had thought of quitting BJJ.

Guess what? I turned 40 a few weeks ago. I started BJJ when I was 33. So, it would seem that it is never too late. This last year was a busy competition year for me. The high points being making it to the finals of ADCC and representing the USA at the FILA World Championships in Turkey. Again...two more reasons that it seems to me that it is NEVER too late. You want to do something in your life...what's stopping you?
